NBA: Breaking down the moves so far
Mike Monroe
Several unrestricted free agents already have agreed to deals or signed deals with new teams. Here’s a look at the impact of their signings with analysis from Express-News NBA beat writer Mike Monroe.
MAJOR MOVERS
Elton Brand, Sixers PF
The deal: The former Clippers star reportedly has reached an agreement on a five-year, $82 million deal.
Sixers’ starting lineup: PG Andre Miller, SG Andre Iguodala, SF Thaddeus Young, PF Brand, C Samuel Dalembert
Monroe’s take: Brand has wanted to return to East Coast for years. Run-and-gun Sixers just gained a slew of outlet passes.
Baron Davis, Clippers PG
The deal: The former Warriors guard has reached an agreement on a reported five-year, $65 million deal.
Clippers’ starting lineup: TBD. Davis will start at point guard and Chris Kaman at center, but beyond that it’s unknown. The Los Angeles Times reports the Clippers are expected to pursue Hawks restricted free-agent SF Josh Smith and Bobcats restricted free-agent C Emeka Okafor.
Monroe’s take: Davis likes to call himself “Boom Dizzle,” but for now “BD” stands for Bonehead Davis.
POSITIVE FALLOUT
Chris Duhon, Knicks PG
The deal: The former Bulls guard signed Wednesday, reportedly for two years and $6.5 million.
Knicks’ starting lineup: PG Duhon, SG Jamal Crawford, SF Quentin Richardson, PF Zach Randolph, C Eddy Curry
Monroe’s take: He’s no Stephon Marbury, and that’s high praise. Knicks are back in East playoffs with Duhon running point.
Corey Maggette, Warriors G/F
The deal: Former Clippers SG/SF agreed to deal that’s reportedly worth $50 million over five years.
Warriors’ starting lineup: PG Monta Ellis, SG Stephen Jackson, SF Maggette, PF Al Harrington, C Andris Biedrins
Monroe’s take: He said he’d made enough money and just wanted to win. In the end, he took the money.
James Jones, Heat SF
The deal: Ex-Blazers forward signed Wednesday. Two years at about $4 million, but the next three are conditional.
Heat’s starting lineup: TBD. Count on Dwyane Wade and rookie F Michael Beasley staying, but the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that F Shawn Marion or PF Udonis Haslem could be traded.
Monroe’s take: You can go home again. Former Miami prep star wanted Heat, and got them.
Mickael Pietrus, Magic G/F
The deal: Former Warriors swingman expected to sign four-year deal worth a reported $25 million.
Magic’s starting lineup: PG Jameer Nelson, SG Pietrus, SF Hedo Turkoglu, PF Rashard Lewis, C Dwight Howard
Monroe’s take: A poor man’s Maggette, but younger and less costly. In other words, he should have been a Spur.
Still out there
Notable unrestricted free agents who are still available include Celtics SF James Posey , Nuggets PF Eduardo Najera, Nuggets G/F Yakhouba Diawara and Pistons SF Jarvis Hayes . Restricted free agents include Hawks SF Josh Smith , Bobcats C Emeka Okafor and Nuggets SG J.R. Smith.
Diawara any good? LLE maybe?
Diawara is good on defense but pretty bad on offense except shooting the 3 sometimes..
the ?? the only reason he says that is because the dude is french....... i am so glad he went to orlando, the dude sucks assMonroe’s take: A poor man’s Maggette, but younger and less costly. In other words, he should have been a Spur.
Not with that band of misfits.Monroe’s take: He’s no Stephon Marbury, and that’s high praise. Knicks are back in East playoffs with Duhon running point.
Welcome to the modern day athlete.He said he’d made enough money and just wanted to win. In the end, he took the money.
Try Maggette's potential game with a re ed little brother of Francisco Elson brainA poor man’s Maggette, but younger and less costly. In other words, he should have been a Spur.
